Firefox Community Forum

Hello, can someone please tell me how I can access https://localhost:6000/ in Firefox as I need to access this address for the OctoPrint software so I can configure it.

All the articles I have read about going into the about:config and adding the port number do not work for me.

So can someone please help me with this and point me in the direction of a working article I can use?

I am using version 130.0 (64bit) of Firefox.

Any help much appreciated and thanks.

Greetings, Firefox requires a huge amount of memory (and other associated resources), and each tab consumes much resources. The resource consumption is a big problem when a few tabs are needed to support research projects. How about spending more time improving the resource utilization as opposed to developing features? The resource utilization of Firefox is poor when compared to other browsers like Brave. However, I like Firefox the best from a features standpoint. So how about it? Please put some effort into making Firefox more resource friendly. One way to get free improvement is to immediately release resources for objects that are orphaned because the associated application has been closed. Lingering resources are a complete waste.

Thanks, Dan

I use Draftsharks.com for Fantasy Football. It has a "Live Sync" feature that connects Draftsharks.com to a Fantasy Football website, such as fantasy.espn.com, to sync information such as rosters, etc. Firefox has no issues with Draftsharks syncing with the website myffpc.com for this info but it will not sync with fantasy.espn.com. At the request of Draftsharks support, I used Chrome to try the same thing, and there were no issues in Chrome connecting Draftsharks to ESPN and performing a live sync. In Firefox settings, I put ESPN in the "Manage Exceptions" area, but it still didn't work when trying to sync Draftsharks with ESPN.

I have a problem where Firefox is asking for a physical security key when I log into certain sites. I do have passkeys saved in my password manager, but Firefox wants to intercept this request rather than passing it to my password manager extension. If this behavior is configurable, I don't know how to change the setting. It's not evident by looking in Settings

This functionality works correctly in Chrome/Chromium and Edge, on Windows and Linux, when I go to a site that I have a passkey saved in my password manager, the browser passes it to my password manager extension and I can log in that way. On Firefox, I have to press the "Try another way" link and enter my old school password and then a MFA additional factor.

Is it possible to configure Firefox to not try to respond to passkey requests and let the password manager extension handle it?

Firefox automatically updated to 130.0 on opening this morning. Since then, a site I use many hours every day will not display any images that are essential to my research.

Image attached of the blank page I see instead of an image of a 19th century church register. Sample URL: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L993-ZP26

Images display correctly in a private window and on Chrome; they do not display in troubleshooting mode.

I retired my old desktop and moved everything to a new one. Now all my inbox email messages disappear after 14 days. Nothing I've tried fixes it. Can you help? Moses

I am on MacOS Monterey running Firefox 130.0. Tonight, I restarted my Mac. Upon startup, Firefox offered to restore my session, as always, but it did not restore everything. In fact, I had one window open that had many tabs (some important) and that is gone.

I'm a bit puzzled and I wonder if I've found a bug?

Ever since the last big update, there have been at least 2 dozen videos that I can't load in Firefox that immediately load in Chrome. I've had to start using Chrome (which I really don't like) for all of my classes that are video based because the videos aren't loading in Firefox. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do to watch videos in Firefox?

I am running 129.0.2 (64-bit) and I found an issue reported in October 2023 with version 119. I want to view a PDF file. Each time I click on the link (I am using Ravelry.com and this is NOT their issue. It is only in Firefox [Chrome & Edge don't do this]), the PDF is shown in a new tab AND downloaded, so if I open the PDF twice-just to test-the file is also downloaded-twice. I had it set to view in firefox, but it STILL downloads AND opens the view. I switched to ask every time and it opens the file AND downloads the file. When will Mozilla fix this flaw? I don't need 50 million copies of the file! AND If I don't want the PDF, I'm still stuck with the file.

I had a page that was a shortcut to the pages I use a lot but some how it diapered it does ask 1 row to 4 rows to save sites but now with windows 11 it still asks but does not show any rows. so How do I fix this so it works Thank You Bill Backes vfw8320@gmail.com

Every time I restart my Mac or install a new software update none of my settings stay the same—example dark theme, tap theme, custom photos on home page, or even extensions. Why is this and can it be fixed?
